If I were in CA right now, I'd be asking myself: "What the he*l are you doing here?"
I got outta there 29 years ago. It was a he*l hole then. I just packed up the kids and everything I could get in a UHaul and headed back east. Never regretted it.
LOL!! Yep I’d be asking that too. Never been there and have no desire to go at all!
